You will also be able to explore the museum's new exhibition, How Does Your Garden Grow?. The exhibition celebrates gardening and gardens in all their forms, from planting and maintaining allotments to winning floral shows. Discover how gardens have developed from simple medieval vegetable patches to sprawling Georgian parkland. Step back in time and peek inside a wartime potting shed, complete with seedlings ready for planting. The displays include artwork by Lys De Bray, a botanical artist and author based in Wimborne.
